Comparison Paper
Writing a comparison paper is an important requirement for senior year English. The topic for this paper will focus on pointing out the similarities or differences between Achebe's Umoufia tribe and essays describing Africa. After reading all of these works, I would like to see a powerful thesis idea fueled by direct quotations.

Your works of comparison:
Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart (Chapters 1-8)

compared to

Chapter One of Elaudoh Equiano's Autobiography
Passage drawn from Heart of Darkness
1600's Virtues and Vices of African People
